What the Cabin Keeps 1

$0.00

A mesmerizing spiral, What the Cabin Keeps 1 is a straw marquetry artwork composed of dyed rye straw. In warm gray-browns — think ash, taupe, and pale caramel —the surface grain of each geometric section catches light differently as the viewer moves around the composition. The result shifts between the graphic and the atmospheric: from across a room, a precise spiral; up close, a field of organic texture and tonal variation. Float framed in black, 12in x 12in.

• Year: 2025
• Size: 12in x 12in
• Framed: 13in x 13in (float framed in black)
• Media: dyed straw on wood panel
• Price: $580 (includes frame) — email to inquire

Part of the Warmth Series — This series draws inspiration from historic American quilt blocks — objects made by hand, often by mothers and grandmothers, passed down through generations. There's something unpretentious about that kind of making: patient, precise, and offered as an act of love.
